Remarks

Marianne自幼就對美髮行業抱持著極大的興趣，為了實踐夢想，她在15歲時進入髮廊擔任助理，並在四年後正式升格設計師，在追夢旅程中一路順遂的Marianne在幾年後成功開了自己的髮廊。問起她是否預料到自己現在的成就，Marianne誠實說起「如果你告訴20歲的我，這將會是她未來的人生，她是絕對不會相信、甚至根本無從想像的！」對於現在的成就和地位，Marianne由衷的感謝一路上遇到的每個人，幫助她進步、磨練精進她的技術，帶領她爬到當時無法想像的高峰。
 
Marianne wants to become a hairdresser since she was a little girl. She put her goal into practice when she turned 15 by starting as a trainee and finished her education as a hairdresser at 19. She then opened her own shop after a couple of years. “But if you had asked me when I was 20 years old and showed me the life I have today, I don’t think I could even imagine how it has turned out. I’m so grateful of where my skills and my job has taken me, – the places I’ve traveled?and seen. The people I meet are beyond what I would ever have expected.” She said.

<div class="titleJL2 brHr my-5">毅然決然飛往紐約尋找更多可能</div>
在家鄉丹麥經營沙龍一陣子後，Marianne決定飛往紐約與美國知名的髮型教父Sam McKnight工作，追求更蓬勃的美髮環境。在她到達紐約後不久，Marianne懷上了她的第一個女兒，「很意外，不是最適切的時機點，卻是我人生中最美好的一件事！」不出所料，Marianne在紐約得以與最頂尖的髮型師一起工作，更在黑人聚集的哈林區習得她最擅長也最引以為傲的編髮技術，「這一切都讓我知道當初跳上飛機，飛了10幾個小時的決定是正確的！」
 
The biggest turning points of her career happened when she moved to New York worked for well-respected hairstylist Sam McKnight and some of the best hairstylists in the world. It’s also the time Marianne got pregnant with her first daughter, “ Not best timing in my career, but the best thing that happened in my life.” She continued, “New york is where the top top stylists works so I am so happy that I made it there and learned so much.”
 
Marianne成功的在紐約打響知名度，參與許多國際時裝週、平面拍攝與廣告攝影等外景工作，更曾替丹麥超級名模Helena Christensen、知名女演員Connie Nielsen甚至搖滾巨星Sharin Foo & Pernille Rosendahl等人做造型。
 
She has gained great recognition in New York where she has worked on many shows, shoots and campaigns, in particular Noir, Day, Baum und Pferdgarten, Bruuns Bazaar, BZR and plenty of magazines at home and abroad. She has styled Helena Christensen, Connie Nielsen among many others. Marianne took the lead when she gave rock stars Sharin Foo & Pernille Rosendahl the page back.

<div class="titleJL2 brHr my-5">透過教育自我審查　忠實呈現自己的實力</div>
在紐約待了三年後，她回到家鄉丹麥，並著手教育工作，「教導他人可以讓你時時刻刻的審查自己，唯有你非常清楚地了解自己正在做什麼，才能傳達給學生讓他們充分了解。」20多年的教育生活，Marianne最大的回饋就是看見學生全心投入學習，這些反饋都是讓Marianne堅守教育的最好鼓勵。
 
Marianne has been an educator for more than twenty years, she is now based in Denmark working worldwide as a hair-trainer. “I love teaching other hairdressers, “ seeing everybody dedicated into hairdressing inspires Marianne a lots, “and teaching always keep you on your toes, you have to be very clear with your skills especially everybody easily can understand what you mean.” she continued.

<div class="titleJL2 brHr my-5">把高端時尚帶進髮廊</div>
「讓髮廊與時尚接軌」是Marianne目前在教育上的主要理念，「時尚界瞬息萬變，讓髮廊的工作者能夠及時接收最新的流行知識。」她進一步的解釋，「在丹麥，髮廊內流行的風格其實早已落後時尚界一大步，所以我希望能透過教育，把時尚的資訊和技巧帶入髮廊。」
 
The most important thing or goal for Marianne is to bring the fashion into the salons. “Fashion goes so fast these days and is important for the hairdressers in the salon to know what’s going on.” She then explained, “In Denmark, there is a hair trend that comes from the salons and sometimes it’s very far from what actually is happening in the international fashion world.”

<div class="titleJL2 brHr my-5">酷愛外景工作的刺激感　激發無限創意</div>
雖然投身教育，Marianne並沒有就此放棄她熱愛的外景工作，在回到丹麥後，她加入KEVIN.MURPHY的外景團隊，擔任外景造型大師，並連續9季負責哥本哈根時裝週所有造型。正是這樣的多樣性，讓Marianne如此深愛美髮產業，「我每天都在面對新的工作和環境，永遠不嫌膩！」她享受著後台工作分秒必爭的時間壓力，平面攝影的創造力也讓她欲罷不能，所有的工作細節都讓她無比沉浸在工作時光裡。
 
Other than educating hairdressers, Marianna is also the Session Master for KEVIN.MURPHY. Home in Denmark, Marianne has worked on numerous shows. She has been responsible for the looks at CIFF Trend Show at Copenhagen Fashion Week for nine seasons now. “I really like the versatility in my job that every day is new. I enjoy especially the intensity and energy when working backstage at a show at fashion week and being super creative, when doing a look for a beauty editorial.”
 
很多最難忘的回憶，都是因為外景工作而來，「工作的緣故，我認識了很多傑出的女孩，像是名模Kate Moss或Helena Christensen，她們直到20年後的今天都還是我非常要好的朋友！」
 
除了美好回憶，也不乏好笑的時刻，Marianne回憶兩年前男歌手Justin Bieber邀請她擔任髮型師，在Justin Bieber自創的Key Collection香水廣告擔任髮型總監，沒想到Justin Bieber竟然荒唐的遲到兩天又五個小時!「實在是場鬧劇！」想到往事，Marianne忍不住哈哈大笑。
 
She has some of the most unforgettable moments while doing hair on set. “I worked with so many amazing girls from Kate Moss to Helena Christensen, whom I after 20 years still have a great relationship with. And when I groomed Justin Bieber’s hair for his “Key” perfume - the most surprising thing was that he was 2 days and 5 hours too late. What a show that was hilarious!” she laughed.
 
問起有沒有建議可以分享給同樣對外景工作有興趣的髮型師，Marianne如此說：「選擇對的產品，讓產品能幫你打造你想要的效果，並且謹記永遠保持髮型乾淨清爽！」
 
To give some advice to those who wants to do hair on set, Marianne said, “Keep it clean, and pick the right products before start, because the products need to match your style.”
 
Marianne常在工作時揮灑創意，擁有深厚美髮底子的她往往透過即興發揮達到畫龍點睛之功效。而她的靈感，來自週遭一切事物，「在時尚產業工作，最容易獲取靈感的來源不外乎一起合作的服裝設計師或是攝影師，他們是我最主要的創意來源。」
 
Marianne loves to be playful in her work, so she is always open for new ideas and be inspired by people she works with. “When working in the fashion industry, you get inspiration from many other things like the designers and photographers that you work with. They are a great source of inspiration for me to be creative.”

<div class="titleJL2 brHr my-5">永遠不要停止學習的步伐</div>
好奇問了Marianne得到關於美髮的最好建議，深為教育者的她毫不猶豫的，給了「學無止盡」這個回答，她鼓勵髮型師們不要自滿，要不停的學習新知、追求新技術，才能跟上時代的變化。她也提到，相較於其他素材，頭髮擁有很強大的多變性，也因此很難駕馭，學習正確的技術才能夠幫助髮型師日益成長，讓作品能夠穩定的擁有好的品質。
 
Talking about the best advice she has received, as an educator, “Never stop learning!” she said. She also mentioned that hair is a difficult material to work with, so it is important to improve your skills over the years and to have the right techniques, so that the result will turn out beautiful every time.
 
開心得分享著明年與家人去日本的渡假計畫，Marianne說自己是一個非常熱愛旅行的人，因為工作的關係，大部分的時間都待在歐美兩地，因此她非常希望能有機會到亞洲國家教授美髮課程，而且亞洲人的粗硬髮質更能讓她一展長才的發揮編髮技巧，「也許有一天你們會看到我到台灣，歡迎來報名我的課！」採訪的最後，Marianne打趣的說道。
 
Marianne enjoys traveling a lot, one of her goals is to have the chance to teach in Asia. Especially being someone good at braiding, Marianne loves the texture of Asian hair which is thicker than European hair texture. As for what’s in for 2016 hair trends, Marianne still votes for braiding, “With that said braids have a staying power for fall as well!”
